I think LeBron is going to be a Warrior within the next 7 days.

How do we square this with the high get-in ticket prices the All-Star Weekend commanded?

@Fullcourtpass Paid partnership to post fake screenshots?
@Kalshi probably should do something about this.

@phygitalname @mingoapps All of those items I listed come at no cost to the event organizer.

Ticketing platforms shouldn’t profit more when ticket prices increase on the secondary market.
Event organisers should have the tools to control resales, set price caps and decide how their tickets are sold.

@forcemm @Curious_Kurz You know I agree with your first sentence. I just take it one step further: I don’t think the government should dictate what anyone can charge. The principle shouldn’t change depending on who the seller is.
English
@TicketsData @Curious_Kurz Why would there be a law dictating what a business can charge to operate their events effectively?
This law prevents outsiders, not involved in the event from harvesting tix to resell to fans at profit

Ever tried to buy a ticket on the secondary market (think: Stub Hub, Seat Geek etc) and the price was WAY higher than face value?
Well, the D.C. Council just passed a bill to rein in the secondary ticket market
English
@shemshack @ScottFriedman3 Thanks!
Outlier listings are excluded from the final get in price. So it would be hard or impossible to really manipulate this prediction market.
English
@TicketsData @ScottFriedman3 Can you explain further? Just curious. I love your site and think it’s great by the way
English
Now that get in price is on kalshi, concerned people may create a ghost listing (i e $200 tix) that they don’t intend to fulfill, pay 100% fine, and hedge that against a large position related to “get in price”. kalshi.com/markets/kxwcpr…

Kalshi has done more World Cup prediction market revenue than all World Cup ticket sales combined
dennis hegstad@dennishegstad
🚨 Kalshi has done $12.4 BILLION in trading volume on the FIFA World Cup alone At just a 1% take rate, that’s ~$124M in revenue off ONE event category Prediction markets aren’t a niche anymore. They’re printing. 📈⚽️

@Ticket_Help2022 @ScottFriedman3 @StubHub The fact that this bill says nothing about dynamic pricing on the primary tells you everything you need to know
English
@ScottFriedman3 @StubHub Naturally nothing to stop scalping on the primary level of platinum tickets and dynamic pricing. Clueless people making decisions.

Homer didn’t write the Odyssey, he didn’t write the Iliad. In fact, there was no person ever called “Homer”.
This is not a conspiracy theory but the considered conclusion of Harvard’s Gregory Nagy after a lifetime of research. Professor Nagy is the most respected Homerist alive and his defining contribution is to uncover the 3000 year old mystery of who (or what) actually produced the epics.
This interview will examine two of Professor Nagy’s radical claims:
1. The Homeric epics were not written, carefully edited, and memorized for performance. They were created on the fly while being sung! That is to say the Greeks somehow developed a method to create amazingly intricate, 12-15 thousand line poems in the middle of a performance.
2. The Homeric Epics were not composed by an individual but cumulatively by countless poets over a millenia. There was never a person called “Homer”.

@ProblemsMlb @joinautopilot My assumption was the board of the company might think giving the CEO a 0% sell fee to a separate entity could set off some red flags.
English
@TicketsData @joinautopilot Why would he charge seller fees on “his own” inventory? He was still getting buyer fees.

StubHub's CEO has been scalping his own customers for years
Eric Baker is the CEO of StubHub and he also built Andro Capital on the side, a hedge fund that acquires tickets and sells them on StubHub
He also made sure Andro Capital got a better deal than every other seller on the platform:
• Andro Capital: $0 in seller fees (2024-2025)
• Everyone else: 20% commission
In 2023, StubHub ended a deal where Andro Capital had been operating as an inside ticket inventory partner and paid Andro Capital $1,600,000 to do it
He then created Colloquy Capital to finance other mass scalpers buying and flipping tickets on the same platform
The Texas AG, Consumer Protection BC, and two class-action lawsuits are all investigating

At the end of the day, the ticket business is the social arbitrage business.

Jay-Z’s New York run triggered a full repricing of his Los Angeles show. The SoFi get-in moved higher after every Yankee Stadium show and is now up 61.6% in seven days, with the concert still more than three months away.
